Accidentally uninstalled "Printers" in the Accessories menu [SOLVED]

Post by tymeric »

Linux Mint 20.2
I've accidentally uninstalled "Printers" in the All Applications menu so can't see the printers although they still work...
How do I re-install it back into the Accessories menu...?
with many thanks

Open Synaptic and install the package system-config-printer.
But you will not find it under Accessories, but under System (it was always there).

All Applications is not a category, but the unfiltered sum from all categories. So you find everything there.
